sNArCHED FROM DEFEAT.
A VICTORY AT BILLIARDS WON BY
SlOSSON.

At One Time $50 Points Behind, the
Student Completes His String Twelve
Points Ahead-A Long Game without
Misunderstanding Notes-Suliivan at
washington-Basc Ball Scores.
CHICAGO April 5-The game of cushion
carom billiards Monday night at Central
Music hall between George Slosson, of this
city, and Jacob Schaefer, the Wizard" of
St. Louis, was witnessed by large audi
ence, and was one in which the onlookers al
ternated between WEAKNESS and intense in :
terest. The play was at no time phenome-
nal, although, of course, there were some re-
markab!e shots, but the great lead that was
obtained by Schaefer in the early portion of
the playing and which was afterward
wrested from the Wizard by his opponent
served to keep up the interest. Slosson
seemed to have lost all control of the ivory
spheres for the first 90 innings, his only runs
of note in that time being Is and IA, the re-
mainder never coming within two of scor-
ing double figures. While this was going on
Schaefer was picking up clusters of as..high as
%, and in the thrty-sixth inning made reg
t46i shy -IoIhet lhotl OpIeSt URLS lay
against tho right rail, while the cue ball
rested near the center of the table. With q
powerful stroke Sc haefer hit the first object
ball nearly full in the face The cue ball
leaped to the upper rail, described an ar on
the open table and then drove the second OBJ
ject ball away from its position against the
rail
Thus the game ran along, Slosson playing
an exceedingly poor game until in the forty
second inning, the score stood: Schaefer
S22; Slo5son, 100 These were fearful odds
the game being for 800 points, but the Chi
cago man here began to play, and while
Schaefer, with an occasional brilliant shot
continued to run his cue through goose eggs
Slosson steadily crept up, until on the sew
| enty-sixth inning he was but 81 behind, Will
the wizard playing like a. man from tn,
pineries On the ninety-fourth inning Schafel
was but buttons ahead, but in the next five
innings this was wiped out and when Slos
son finished the ninety ninth inning he hae
passed the wizard amid roar of cheers
The St. Louis phenomenon wen. TO tn
front again on the Tooth inning, but his lea,
was short lived for at the 102nd the student
went ahead again. Sehaefer left the ball
| IN good shape after running d, but Slossol
| was too eager, and made an execrable shot
which brought groan from the audience
| and let the wizard tie the game
| At this point the interest and excitsmen
reached its highest point. The game wa
nearly through and the scores tied. Blu
Schafer could not pass the Chicago expert
though there was no run greater than six

been nearly $50 points behind at one stage o

MORRIS. Ills, March 5.-The testimony in
the trial of Schwartz and Watt Monday
morning was quite tame but there was =
stir in the courtroom in the afternoon when

After relating in detail the apparent Grange
from comparative poverty TO aiilgeGce Of the
Schwartz family, tho witness tess. Gsd that
one evening in July last she went to
Schwartz's house, and while sitting iu one
room with Mrs. Schwartz, Watt came in and
held consultation IN an al joining room with
Schwartz. Mrs. Schwartz left the room for
few moments and the witness went 10 the
door, which was slightly aiar, and listened,
She heard Sch wartz say: you want IN
shove all the suspicion on ME"
Watt replied: mo, don't You are safe;
your father is rich, and you can account for
your money
The next she could distinguish was
Schwartz, saying: why did You not bring
me two fifties instead of this hundredf' to
which Watt replied; cit was dark whsn J
got it, and l took the first l came to-"
Schwartz said be had not spent any Sl0J-
bills yet. At this point the witness testified,
she was interrupted by the return of Mrs.
Schwartz, and shortly afterward Watt and
Schwartz left the house together, Miss

in manner highly satisfactory to the prose-
cution. At o'clock court nd iourne1 fer tine

WASHINGTON CITY, April Ut is stated
at the executive mansion that the published
report of the purchase of a saddle horse for

ton than the fact that a horse has been pur-

The president has no thought of taking to
equestrian exercise. The published reports

dents usa arc alao coutrsdiesus, Some boxes
Of such apparatus have been received from

WASHINGTON CITY, April 5-Kernau's
variety theatre was packed to the doors
Monday night with ], 100 people to witness
the sparring exhibition of John l.. Sullivan
and his party of professional pugilists At
o'clock the police ordered the sale of tickets
stopped although the sparring was not to
take place until 10. a variety performance
preceding the fisticutfs. The main interest
of the audience was centered, of course, in
Bcston'5 pride, but IN his two bouts with
Lannon, young heavyweight from Boston,
and ex-Champion Steve Taylor, Sullivan
showed that he was still very careful Of his
left arm, and much affected by his forty
pounds of extra flesh. Sullivan said to your
representative that he felt that his arm was
most as goo1 as ever again. HIS one regret
was that he was forced to be governed by his
physicians advice to 60 light with it and
that this prevented bis exercising as he
wanted to in order to reduce his flesh, whic b
was beginning to deprive him of wind.

second-Assorted Election Returns.
DETROIT, April Owing to the ener-
getic working for and against the prohibi-
ton amendment very full vote was polled
in this state Monday, this being particularly
true in the southern part of the state. In
the upper peninsula snow fell to the depth Of
from two to four feet, and very materially
interfered with the vote At midnight Mon
day The Free Press conceded the prohibition
amendment, but could give no figures At
the Prohibition headquarters the state was
claimed by majority of 5000. Carefully
compiled returns, independent of both these
sources, placed tho majority for the prohibi-
ton amendment at 10000, with comparative
statements showing that that figure would
probably be increased by several thousand
when the full returns are received.
The Tribune Rep.) at midnight conceded
the passage of the amendment by 10000
votes, and claimed the election of the Re
publican ticket by Is, 900 majority.
TIE notable features of the contest in De-
troit which is estimated to have given 15,-
900 majority against the amendment, were
the presence of women at the polls, and the
actual closing of at least 1913 out of the
LOO saloons i'll town. The Democratic
mayor of Detroit, himself liquor seller, is.
sued proclamation against the selling OF
giving away of liquor, and personally saw
that the order was obeyed

WASHINGTON CITY, April 5-The first
man to appear before the Interstate COM
merce commission Monday was Senator
Dolph, Of Oregon, who presented memorial
from the Walla Walla board of trade, in
which the petitioners prayed that the crop
of the present year be relieved from the
strain of exorbitant freight charges. SEN
ator Dolph also presented petition from the
board of trade of Portland, Ore Tine me
morialists say they do not know whether the
law forbids the making of rates to coast
points SO that the railroads may compete
with the water routes and the Canadian Pa
cific railroad. They ask the commission to
interpret the law and to give them the Port
land board OF traie) the dispensing power.
Then came Congressman Butterworth with
other gentlemen, representing the river
transportation people. They are on hand to
insist upon a rigid construction of the long
and short haul clause. They were given
copies of the documents submitted by the
Southern Railway and Steamship associa-
ton.
A committee of the Macon, Ga, chamber
of commerce had an exactly opposite object
to that of the Butterworth delegation. In
answer to the question whether the law ap-
piled to express companies, the Canadian
Express company was Informed that argu-
ments would be heard, but until they were
heard the commission held that the law did
apply to such companies.
In the afternoon E. s. Russell, attorney
for the Mobile & Ohio, which connects St.
